Not a good experience.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Breakfast was poor, only one coffee machine working and then most options didnt work. Croissants are TINY, you need 3 to make up a normal size croissant. Apple juice so watered down it was just water. Cucumber looked old and dried out. Staff fet annoyed with people just asking basic questions. Had pizza for dinner which was disgusting. It was as if someone had poured a can of tomato paste on the base and drizzled a bit of cheese.

Considering the price, disappointing
Pros:

Location is great, and it was clean. No issues there at all. Check out was good.

Cons:

Price was extortionate.
Most of the channels on the tv didn’t work. Neither did Netflix etc
The “air con” was blowing warm air and wouldn’t go below 18. Staff said they would fix or provide a fan, but did neither.

Nice, but expensive for what it is
Pros:

Great location - no more than a 10 minute walk from the train station.

Cons:

Booked a one night stay and considering the very high price, it did not represent value for money. While everything was generally at a good standard, it wasn't exceptional - I expected more for the price. Even lost cost items, such as toilet roll, clean towels and nice biscuits and coffee, we're in short supply.
